Abstract: A direct and elementary derivation is presented for the kinetic equation of the single droplet distribution function and the variance equation that describe Ostwald ripening. The derivation is basically algebraical and the screening effects of diffusional interactions among droplets is taken into account automatically by a projection technique. The results correct up to the square root of the volume fraction confirm the kinetic equations derived previously by Tokuyama and Kawasaki except for a correction to the variance equation.
